Runners of all abilities are welcome. Social, not competitive good way to finish your week-end. Bring a water bottle. Refreshing fruit provided at runs end. Gold coin donation appreciated. This year be the overall ‘summer champion’. End of series prize to runner with most accumulated kilometres in the summer runs. Note-: Handcapp event with extra K’s awarded to the older participants each week. ( 41 to 45 – 1Km), (46 to 50 – 2 Km), (51 to 55 – 3Km) and so on.
